This RU-vid is titled Things Your Doctor Will Not Tell You. Hopefully this is RU-vid generated click bait, since this is all basic knowledge to physicians. While true that not all docs are equal in terms of efforts in education, I fear that this presenter describes self as a biochemist, and while providing helpful education, gives no history of clinical experience, yet is rendering clinical advice, a little over her skis.
If all MDs are familiar with this, why did my primary physician never mention this to me. Why has she stopped fasting glucose tests when it used to be a standard test. Why has my physician asked me why I wanted a fasting glucose test. Why did I have to learn about this from a biochemist instead of my MD as a matter of course? I don’t know the answer, but it seems to me that more civilians are obtaining more effective health information from biochemists than our own physicians. . . a thing to ponder on a rainy day.
I’m a Registered Nurse and mother of 3 boys. I’m so very thankful to have you & your knowledge in my life!!! Your teachings have been life changing for me! I love your teaching style, very easy to follow and retain the info because you have a great way of explaining processes in a simplistic way so that we all can understand it! Thanks for all that you do for us❤
At 69 years old, I’ve been on a Keto and fasting regimen for the past three years, maintaining a 30+ lb weight loss and vast improvement in health. I have a well visit with my PCP tomorrow and was trying to prepare, thinking about what tests I should have. Then YOUR VIDEO pops up on my RU-vid feed! EXACTLY what I needed! For the past three years I’ve watched countless videos and done tons of research to try to educate myself. I must say that yours is the most invaluable one I’ve seen, with the most succinctly presented information…and free PDF’s to boot! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. New …and eternally grateful…subscriber! 🤗👏👏👏💖🥰
Hello Jessie, I’m super impressed with your brilliant presentation! Will try my best to follow your hacks regularly! Thank you so much Jessie! May Jehovah God bless you always! Mabuhay ka Jessie! 🙏😇❤️👍👏
My mom is 56 she reversed her type 2 by cutting carbs sugars fried foods etc along with physical activities and she's doing great she gets her blood work done every 3-4 months her levels are always under 6
She may be interested in the tips on lowering the glucose food order. First eat: Green veggies especially salad greens, vinegar in water, then protein and fat, and if eating grain/root veg, consume them at the end.
71 here, T2D, on medications, managed to drop HbA1c from 8.6 to 6.8 in 3 months by switching to more carnivore diet. Your topic is excellent; please continue.
Wonderful visual style and deliberate light hearted delivery of important information that would otherwise be too boring to listen to. I appreciate your professional skills and your sincere desire to help people ( like me) understand that it’s not too difficult to take control of one’s health when one is adequately informed. Thank you .

A spotlight in my world of darkness. Thank you. I'm 67 T2D for 20 yrs and in you have taught me more than all the doctor i had encountered. Eg i didn't understand why one vinegar was better than the other yet all the doctors on RU-vid promote one brand. Thanks a million
I’m 73, (74 next month😊) and I went on a no carb diet in my mid thirties. Stayed on this diet for about twenty years. I just loved it. So I’m thinking of going back on it, because it is so easy for me. And I don’t want to enter my golden years with problems.
One can easily see how much effort and diligence you have put in this video. Really much appreciated. And as a "francophone", I love your English accent. Keep going!
Thanks for your work! 💜🤍In January 2023, I did a blood test and my fasting glucose was 96, doctor did not say anything, but I did not like it as I am disposed to diabetes. In summer 2023 I discovered you, bought your book and adopted your hacks. I did blood test last month and glucose is down to 92 🦾. My goal is to bring it down below 90 🙏🏻
Thank you so much. It's amazing I have one question. How often do I have to drink apple cider vinegar every meal period or once a day?Hope to hear from you
This is some incredibly precious information !! Thank you Jessie I've discovered you through Steven's DOAC podcast, bought your book, been following you since that day and you quite literally changed my life thank you
My goodness Jessie, I'm always thoroughly impressed with your teaching techniques and how you simplify everything that you explain. I would've loved to have you as my Pathophysiology professor in nursing school, better yet, as my teacher for my entire academic career. Also I wish medical doctors were taught more about nutrition and preventative care models and not just how to treat the health problems after they have occurred. I'm a nurse and I never would've thought to ask my PCP for a Fasting Insulin level. Definitely a Fasting glucose level. But not the Fasting Insulin level. Now I absolutely will request for one at my physical especially since I've gained a lot of weight in the past year since leaving my workout class last year and I'm also predisposed to diabetes.
Important clue might be, if you start to feel like sticked, glued, slowed down both cognitevitely and psyhically and you are only after your 30s or 40s or even earlier you should immidiately change your lifestyle and diet. Your doctor usually will tell you its normal especially when your results are in range. It s not. It s total bs. A lot of ranges covers people around 60 years old. It should be changed for age spans but its not. You should change your lifestyle and habits to feel like 20-25 years old and try to preserve this till you are above 60s or 70s. Feeling sticked glued sleepy means your cardiovascular system is getting broken your metabolism slowing down , you need a lot of antioxydants, protein and fiber, iron, vitamins b, magnesium, vitamin d, sleep and move your body. Diet should have very little amount of processed food or none.
So smart! I feel like the pcp healthcare Im getting is such a sham and a scam. It's funny that instagram and fb are our fallbacks to save our lives, and Im grateful!!! 🎉
I am only 30 but started feeling fatigue and have less joints mobility. I still do everything but it's not the same as before and gained 25lbs last year. I feel out of breath when exertion. I walk a lot and i am active but the spark is gone that i used to have. Brain fog and feeling numb sometimes in arms can't seem to loose much weight then a few pounds. I want to be healthy for my kids so I can take care of our family. I am trying my best to be healthy as before.
Lovely minimalist yet impactful presentation. What I have learned from you, as long as you have the tools to control imbalances, don’t need to become obsessed with a specific diet.
To quote you from this episode, WOW WOW WOW. Your information is fascinating. Also, super impressive that someone with your level of smarts can present the information in a way that a mere mortal like me can not only understand but enjoy learning. WOW WOW WOW!
Too good explanation dear .I had very high insuline 70 Was lucky enough to identify and reduced to 7 in 4 months with dietician . Really this video is worth to understand everyone .Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much. My both parents have diabetes and the doctors never mention about insulin levels measurement. Thanks for helping us all. Keep up you amazing work ! Keep inform us too :))))
You are a Glucose saint but goddess is OK with a small g. Amazing...Thank you so much. When I heard your credentials , I can automatically trust you completely. Plus what you say makes so much common sense. You are one of my greatest RU-vid finds. Most of my wife's adult life, she had most of her pancreas removed due to insulin producing tumors. I'm trying to care for her now close to the end of her life. She has done such a great job being her pancreas. Wish we knew this info 50 years ago. I'm sharing with all my family. God bless you!
I loved your presentation. It was very informative, comprehensive and pleasurable to watch. Also loved your set and how you dressed. Quite unique for RU-vid. Keep up the great work. Thank you again.
You are a lifesaver. I’ve been listening to your podcast and the more I listen , the more I am determined to get my glucose levels under control. Thank-you for your educating and giving information to lead a healthier life style. 😅
I’m a 71 year old T1.5 diabetic and have an A1c of 5.5. Six years ago I started following Dr. Richard K Bernstein’s book “Diabetes Solution” and started a Low Carb High Protein lifestyle and changed my insulin regimen. I’m using 86% less insulin now & lost 70 lbs. to boot. A “Normal” human has a BG (blood glucose) of 83. I strive for this goal and it works, but it only works with a lifestyle change; away from the SAD (Standard American Diet) and going Low Carb.
I have seen you on a few podcasts and loved the dialogue, but this series takes it home in such a beautiful way and covering the topics clearly and concisely. I am a nurse, and we are not taught this. I am struggling with insulin resistance and its effects on my health (PCOS, fibroids, automimmune) and just got these lab results and now know how to interpret because the doctor only calls when the ranges are out of high range. I am going to finish your series and take all of these "hacks" into practice. I want to reverse this and get my health back. You are doing such great work. Thank you.
I’ve been following your eating style and hacks - order of food, savory breakfast, etc - and am feeling pretty stable. Yesterday I went on a very long bike ride and followed it with a beer and basketof fries. WTF! Two hours later I was exhausted even after a nap. I dragged myself around for the rest of the day thinking about glucose spikes and glucose crash. I will not be doing that again. Thanks for all your great communication regarding food intake.
How did you change your numbers ? I changed to Carnival with some fruit mostly in the morning have some sweet potatoes pumpkin .No sugar no more wheat or wheat products or corn 🤔 bread is the hardest sometimes I do have 1or 2 slice of sourdough bread
FINALLY!! A clear explanation of how and why these markers (tests) function, and how they interact with each other. Thank you so much for this video. I am subscribed forever!
Wow, now I know why I have CVD. Several years ago my doctor told me I had metabolic syndrome. My fasting glucose was just above 100 for several years. He told me to loose some weight. He never told me how to loose weight! Had to figure that out for myself. So now I’m 20 lbs lighter. A1c from 5.7 to 5.3. Low carb diet did the trick. I had two insulin level tests done within the past year. Two different labs and two different units of measurement IU/ml and uIU/ml. I used the IU/ml to calculate my HOMA-IR. Not sure how to convert one to the other. I enjoyed your presentation. I look forward to more.
A big thank you for the free information. I have now watched multiple of your videos and the informtion is eye opening and giving me a much better understanding of how to help myself. Your presentaions are brilliant! Thank god ofr people like yourself, you are saving us.
I love these videos! Even more information than in the book, simply explained. Thank you so much for the work you do Jessie! And also the neon orange match was freaking fabulous 🧡
I’ve been diagnosed as diabetic for almost 10 years. My Dr (GP in the UK) uses HbA1c as the standard test, not the fasting glucose. You mentioned the reason and the 2 to 3 month time period but glossed over why. Red blood cells (hence the Hb for haemoglobin) have a life span of about 2 to 3 months and are constantly being recreated. The glycation of some if these red blood cells occurs at their creation, hence the time period for an HbA1c test is the same as that of the red blood cells. The fasting tests are all snapshots in time and could therefore vary from day to day if retaken. The one test you can’t fiddle is the HbA1c unless you change your lifestyle over the whole two t9 three months (which might not be a bad idea for diabetics!). It is for this reason if ave4age over 2 - 3 months that HbA1c is the gold standard of testing glucose in diabetics (especially Type 2’s). Type 1’s have different problems due to the failure of their pancreas to produce sufficient insulin, hence frequent blood glucose measurement and possibly the use of an insulin pump to automate dosage is important for treating T1s. For T1s their HbA1c is an important measure but is 2 to 3 months too late to determine insulin replacement levels!
Thank you for sharing your passion and puepose. The food industry has a lot to answer for. We've been hacked for profit and its time we take the power back and hack ourselves back into health through healers like you empowering us.
My dearie, you know what you are teaching very very well. More grease to your elbows. You are God sent to the needy . More blessings will be coming your way. You are a true Israelite, in you there's no deceit. You are a good person.
Fasting blood glucose level naturally rise if you move actively (walk fast, workout in any way) and can rise from 70 to 90 simply moving your body. A boold measure is an instant measure. Use a CGM to really figure out your glucose pattern
Actually its the opposite. When you move, you use your blood glucose and your body gets its nutrients easily. High glucose and high insulin leads to hipoxy, your body And your brain does not get enough oxygen.
When I go on a brisk walk after eating my glucose values typically go down. But I do agree that when fasted and undergoing a hard workout that your glucose can rise, as you mentioned. I think it's because the liver releases glycogen (i.e. sugar that is stored in your liver).
In reality, it is not physical activity that increases the amount of glucose in the blood, it is due to the release of cortisol, and it depends on the person, but in general it is after a long effort ...
@@marekgiedyk512 No it's not. There are times that pangreas A cells secrete glucagone if senses activity. At start bg it increases a lot. Then it drops. If , for I don't know the reason, body decided to start gluconeogenesis don't expect sg to decrease
Brilliant presentation! Thank you. I just had my panel done. I'm 67, very fit, no meds, fasting insulin is 2.5. Glucose is 92. So, my homo IR ratio is .522 .
*I had very high blood sugar I only managed to improve my health when I found a WONDERFUL treatment,❤❤ if you want to know about it, I left the name in the comment reply*
You are amazing! I have Reactive Hypoglycemia and I have learned so much from you and your hacks. I am better able to manage my blood sugar and I can't wait to try your Anti-Spike. Thank you for all you do!
*I had very high blood sugar I only managed to improve my health when I found a WONDERFUL treatment,❤❤ if you want to know about it, I left the video in the comment reply*
My fasting insulin level is 5.6, and HOMA ratio is 1.7, that is both are in the optimal range ! Cool, so glad 😊 I have also put my first CGM today. Thank you for the advice to not increase the glucose level by more than 30 mg/dl. ❤
@@rabbitgirlz4380 There is no test for HOMA-IR. It is simply a mathematical calculation that you do yourself once you have your fasting glucose and fasting insulin values.
1) how about what the implication of having a type of blood cancer whilst having T2D? 2) What are the implications of the various testing protocols when the variables in scope for the testing are not within assume standards? 3) It would be helpful to also share the bld test standard codes? 4) Also, Y’all need to cross check everything you see/hear/read on the interweb
Hi Jessie-Angel, you are really amazing with an awesome way of performance. So many important information ... thank you so much for your work and science you share with us ... I love to watch you and I love your style -you look gorgeous-. Love and hugs, ❤️ 😘🙏, Elisabeth from Düsseldorf, Germany
On a perfectly unprocessed vegan diet my fasting insulin crept up year after year until i was becoming faint in between meals. HIGH FAT Meat based diet fixed that in about 30 days. Beef, lamb, salmon, butter, eggs with small amounts of veggies and fruit My fasting insulin is now a 3 🎉 perfection. Triglycerides are very low (can't recall exact number) Calcium artery test perfect 0. It's been about 2 years now and i feel great. My periods came back too and I'm 51 y/o ❤
Yup...vegan is not for everyone. It irritates the crap out of me when folks are trying to get everyone on vegan. Good for you by doing what is best for YOUR body!
he he he he he......Jessie .....Inchauspe the .....Magica de Spell of blood glucose hacks!!!!great work Jessie ...as one of my countrys leading pioneers in the field of Natural Medicine ,am already communicating your health strategies/hacks to other people!!
Hi Jess! Thank you for this so extremely interesting and helpful video! Just a question about fasting glucose and insulin levels: avarage how long does it take to reduce them? You said in your experience you were 95 and are 85 now (or something like that sorry I don't remember exactly!). But starting a new life style, with your hacks and good habits, how long did it take you? And do you think it is possible to avoid pills like metphormine if we follow all your haks? Thank you for your daily help!!!
I have a continuous glucose monitor (CGM - Dexcom G7), and it is very accurate under the right conditions. It matches or is with 10 units of a finger-stick blood test using a glucosometer. It does need calibration adjustments when it is newly inserted. I do a finger stick and calibrate to that reading using the G7 application. It may take a couple times to get it really accurate on a daily basis. The app computes an 'average glucose index' over 90 days which is similar to the A1c. My actual A1c is always lower which is great. It is hard to tell but IMO the CGM is accurate in normal ranges but read high on spikes.
Thank you. I'm not diabetic, but there are lots of people around me taking metformin. Simple lifestyle changes can reverse type 2 diabetes. You make that clear. Thanks again.
You are amazing Jessie, watching your videos, is very helpful. I’m Abul Bashar. 72 years old. Suffering from T1D since 43 years. I have CGM FreeStyle Libre 2. Greetings from Bangladesh.
Thanks for the insights on glucose and insulin. Very helpful to learn how to connect the dots for good cardiovascular health. Love you styles and natural look! Gorgeous and love the orange Heels and matching vest.
Yes I also like and appreciate your information . I didn’t see any PDF just a form for an e-mail newsletter. I ll replay the video and write the formulas down as I don’t need more emails . Thanks again for the wonderful advice and information! Peace always 🙏
Very interesting and I would be rushing to see my doctor to ask for these tests but sadly in the UK blood tests are not performed regularly even when it might be necessary! and a patient cannot presume to ask a doctor for a specific test to be run!
Can’t stop watching these fabulous intelligent presentations. So much information and with her hacks so easy to implement ( eating plant based will be a slightly harder tweak, but at least I have the veggie starter down 😂😂). Have been watching my fasting glucose slowly creep up each year with no comments from any doctor. I always worried. This year I failed and HBA1c also on the border sooooo glucose goddess you have arrived in my life at the perfect time. Who says the universe or algorithms can’t give us a nudge! Will implement hacks and increase frequency of resistance training. Need to increase muscles, not lose weight. Give that insulin somewhere to put the glucose. Love you glucose goddess! And all of your super unique clothing choices! You are YOU! And ask doctor for insulin levels!!! 🎉
Thank you 😊 so much!! It's very important to know how to make the difference in my 💜❤️ health as an older woman 👠 after a certain age!! I believe the way she is explaining the process of chemistry on glucose and levels of change taking place and changes happening that we don't fully understand and need further health care in professional guidance to better choices to keep glucose levels down!!
It's all such a 'bummer!, but personally, symptomatic explanations abound, after hearing your work and quite a bit to be done in order to establish the reality. You've done the really tough ground work. Thank you!
Hello Jessie! Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and sensitizing people about Glucose. Warm regards from The Diabetic Capital of the World, India!
Thanks for this list! I'm a 70 y/o male, 69" & 216 lbs, with fasting glucose low 90s and A1C 5.1. So doing pretty well in spite of being Class 1 obese. Now I know which specific tests to ask for for my upcoming lab work and physical. Liked and Subscribed.
